1962 Jaguar E Type | Mimbridge, Surrey

A 1962 Jaguar E Type, the long-bonnet British sports car known for its low, flowing shape and its pace. Early cars carry a 3.8-litre straight-six, and a Series 1 roadster joined the permanent design collection at New York's MoMA in 1996. This car is Green with a Brown interior, in excellent condition. The two colours give close-ups a warm, period feel, and the long bonnet sits low and wide in the frame. It seats two. Photography, fashion and editorial shoots make good use of that long profile, while advertising and music video get a car that reads as the 1960s at once. Film and TV productions set in the period have a correct-era sports car for the screen. It also suits a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in Mimbridge, Surrey.
